Jameis Winston is the definition of a leader on the football field, there's no question about it. But according to his former teammate, James Wilder Jr., his leadership style is a bit different than most other quarterbacks. As Coley Harvey of ESPN reports, Wilder said Winston's "goofy" ways are actually a big part of his success.

"That's just his personality. He's not going to change it," Wilder told ESPN. "That's a big part of his success; keeping people calm and collect."

Wilder went on to talk about the hype that currently surrounds Winston, including the fact that he's an incredibly hard worker. Apparently, he's been like that since he knew Winston.
